    A used strut should be fine as it takes a pretty big hit to bend one. Disassemble and inspect the used strut, it could need a new strut insert, upper strut bearing or wheel bearing.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

      The eibach springs are very soft for the amount of drop and are not a good choice, H&R Sports would be my choice for a mild drop.

        From what I've read about eibach springs, cut stock springs would actually be better.

        Also, any part is worth using if it's in good condition. Used or not.
